What do you think?
and got an a-plus.
And that kid was me!
Mr. Ratburn said I should have it recorded.
It was that good.
♪ His own personal striped elephant ♪
♪ And you will all see
♪ How happy he will be
but that didn't rhyme with "elephant."
Did you like it?
but you did it, so I loved it.
Well, just a little, tiny bit.
I don't know.
I just want everybody to like it.
♪ And you will see how happy he will be ♪
Did this really happen?
Well... sort of.
It did?
I'd like to hear it.
Tell it the way
( clears throat )
( screaming )
Has anybody seen Perky?
But then... Wow!
and that's my dog, Pal.
with a beginning, middle and end, you deserve a sticker.
but I expect you to write that story down and hand it in.
Yeah.
Edit.
I did do capitals!
That's capital.
"Man, that hurts.
"This is my mother, Charlene Dore.
"That's my family in the present.
"I'll live in a cozy apartment in New York
I will be a famous author."
This is not a smart dog.
I don't think so.
( whines )
He doesn't understand anything.
Here, watch this.
See? Nothing.
( burps )
all the streets are blocked off for a special celebration.
NDOR: Guess how many pickles.
Win valuable cheese.
What do you get when you cross
peanut butter and an elephant?
Free giveaways!
( crowd shouting happily )
Nobody wants a pencil.
Free balloons!
DAD: What's wrong, Kate?
You want your pacifier?
I know what she wants--
See?
( both gasp )
Let me have that, D.W.
( squeaking gets louder )
( balloon sputters )
Well, it's not a diaper-related problem.
What is it, Kate?
I can hold Pal's leash.
Mom, I'm old enough
to hold the leash, right?
Arthur, let D.W. take Pal
and you push Kate, please.
She must be hungry.
Why don't we have lunch?
( Katetinues wailing )
Wait-- let's get
a table in the restaurant
Just get a new dog.
He looks intelligent.
Yuck! Eww!
Arthur, we'll sit at that table
while you look for Pal.
Pal! Pal!
This way, kids
away from the dog.
( sneezes )
( barks )
You found a dog?
Yes.
Blah! Blah!
Hey, do you think maybe Pal ran away
You take this side of the street;
I'll take that side.
( starts crying again )
Pal? Pal?
Is that you, Pal?
Hi-- I can't talk.
He ran past the cinema.
He was totally out of control.
How rude!
We'll help find him.
We will?
( Kate crying )
She might be sick.
We can't go now.
We'll make some "lost dog" signs, too.
I knew you couldn't hold the leash.
Pal?
He ran away from me.
He hates me.
He was escaping from you.
Get away.
CLOWN: You stupid dog!
It's Pal-- quick!
I got him!
Huh?
( scratching )
ARTHUR: Come here, dog.
Take him out.
I don't know.
Hi, everyone, it's me, Buster.

WELL, WOULD YOU LOOK AT THIS.
I HATE TO GIVE SOMEONE A PARKING TICKET

BUT THIS CAR SHOULDN'T BE PARKED HERE.
[RUFF]
HI, SHERIFF LEWIS.
HAPPY FOUNDER'S DAY.
HELLO, EMILY ELIZABETH.
SAY, YOU THINK CLIFFORD COULD HELP ME OUT
BY MOVING THIS CAR?
I THINK HE'D BE HAPPY TO.
[WOOF]
THANK YOU SO MUCH, CLIFFORD.
[WOOF]
I WAS JUST ON MY WAY TO THE BEACH
TO HELP SET THINGS UP
FOR THE FOUNDER'S DAY FIREWORKS TONIGHT.
[WORRIED WHIMPER]
I CAN'T WAIT.
IT SHOULD REALLY BE SOMETHING.
THEY'RE GONNA HAVE FIREWORKS
OF ALL THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE

[RUFF RUFF]
THE FOUNDER'S DAY FIREWORKS ARE ALWAYS TERRIFIC.
[YELPS]
[SHUDDERING, WHIMPERING]
SAY, EMILY ELIZABETH,
I WONDER IF YOU AND CLIFFORD
COULD DO ME ANOTHER LITTLE FAVOR.
WE'LL TRY.
WOULD YOU TWO MIND IF T-BONE
KINDA HUNG AROUND WITH YOU TODAY?
HE GETS A LITTLE JUMPY AROUND FIREWORKS.
HE DOESN'T LIKE LOUD NOISES MUCH.
[CLANG CLANG]
[YIEE!]
[WHIMPERING]
SEE WHAT I MEAN?
I HAVE TO GO HELP MOM AT THE STORE FOR A WHILE,
BUT I'M SURE CLIFFORD WOULD LOVE
TO SPEND TIME WITH T-BONE.
RIGHT, CLIFFORD?
[WOOF WOOF]
[T-BONE BARKING HAPPILY]
COME ON, SWEETIE. COME ON OUT.
[EMBARRASSED WHIMPER]
OH! YOU ARE SO ADORABLE.
YOU'RE GONNA OUTSHINE THE FOUNDER'S DAY FIREWORKS TONIGHT.

[ROWF ROWF]
[ROWF]
LOOK, T. IT'S CLEO!
IT IS?
HI, GUYS.
YOU LOOK GREAT!
THANKS. I'M GONNA OUTSHINE
THE FOUNDER'S DAY FIREWORKS TONIGHT.
FIREWORKS?
[WHINES]
DON'T TALK ABOUT THE FIREWORKS, CLEO.
T-BONE'S GOT A BIG PROBLEM WITH LOUD NOISES.
REALLY? HOW COME YOU NEVER TOLD US
YOU DON'T LIKE LOUD NOISES BEFORE?
I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO THINK
I WAS A BIG SCAREDY CAT OR SOMETHING.
WE'D NEVER THINK THAT, T-BONE.
I KNOW.
IT'S JUST, I WISH I WASN'T
SCARED OF LOUD NOISES.
I'D LOVE TO WATCH THOSE FIREWORKS.
MAYBE WITH A LITTLE HELP, YOU CAN.
YOU THINK SO?
I DON'T KNOW, BUT WE CAN TRY.
[CONSTRUCTION SOUNDS]
I--I DON'T LIKE THIS VERY MUCH.
IT'S SO NOISY.
I KNOW. I DON'T LIKE IT, EITHER.
WELL, I DON'T, EITHER,
SO I'M GONNA DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO, CLEO?
I'M GONNA MAKE NOISE
RIGHT BACK AT IT, LIKE THIS.
[HOWLS]
WHOA!
WHEN SOMETHING SCARES YOU,
YOU CAN TRY TO SCARE IT RIGHT BACK.
GO ON, T-BONE. TRY IT.
[LITTLE HOWL]
COME ON. LET 'ER RIP.
[HOWLS]
COME ON, CLIFFORD. JOIN IN!
OK.
[HOWLS]
WHOA! WHOA!

HOW WAS THAT?
WOW! DO IT AGAIN, DO IT AGAIN!
[HOWLING]
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS]
[HOWLS] [HOWLS]
[HOWLS]
WOOF!
DOESN'T THAT FEEL GOOD, T-BONE?
T-BONE?
[WHINES]
WELL, THAT DIDN'T WORK.
WE NEED A BETTER PLAN.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO, CLIFFORD?
MAYBE IT WILL BE EASIER
IF YOU GET USE TO LOUD NOISES SLOWLY.
JUST A LITTLE BIT AT A TIME.
OK. A LITTLE BIT AT A TIME.
[WHIMPERS]
BOO.
[WHIMPERS]
THAT WASN'T SO BAD. WHAT'S NEXT?

YIKES!
OH!
YOU'RE DOING GREAT, T-BONE.
CAN WE STOP NOW?
JUST ONE LAST THING.
THAT'S GONNA MAKE A BIG NOISE WHEN HE DROPS IT, HUH?
MM-HMM. A REALLY BIG NOISE.
[SHRIEKS]
W--W--WELL, NOT REALLY BIG.
GO AHEAD, CLIFFORD. I'M READY.
DROP IT.
[HOLDS BREATH]
[THUD]
[EXHALES]
HOORAY FOR T-BONE! WOOF!
YEAH! I DID IT!
[HORN BLARES]
[WHIMPERS]
POOR T-BONE.
YEAH. LET'S GO FIND HIM.
COME ON, T-BONE. PLEASE COME OUT.
YEAH, PLEASE?
NO. I'M NEVER COMING OUT.
I'M NOTHING BUT A BIG SCAREDY CAT.
YOU'RE NOT A SCAREDY CAT, T-BONE.
YOU JUST DON'T LIKE LOUD NOISES.
BESIDES, IT'S LIKE I TOLD YOU,
EVERYONE'S AFRAID OF SOMETHING,
EVEN IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO OTHER PEOPLE.
I'M AFRAID OF THE DARK.
REALLY?
YEP! I CAN'T EVEN SLEEP AT NIGHT
WITHOUT MY GLOW-IN-THE-DARK HEDGEHOG TOY.
WHAT ABOUT YOU, CLIFFORD?
I BET YOU'RE NOT AFRAID OF ANYTHING.
SPIDERS.
SPIDERS? SPIDERS?
UH-HUH. I KNOW THEY'RE REALLY FRIENDLY,
BUT FOR SOME REASON, THEY JUST SCARE ME.
SEE, T? EVERYONE'S SCARED OF SOMETHING,
EVEN IF IT'S NOT FOR A GOOD REASON.
AND IF LOUD NOISES SCARE YOU,
THEN WE'LL JUST FORGET ABOUT GOING
TO THE FIREWORKS TONIGHT.
THANKS, GUYS.
CLIFFORD AND I WILL STAY RIGHT HERE WITH YOU TONIGHT, T.
WE WOULDN'T THINK OF LEAVING YOU ALONE.
AW, YOU DON'T HAVE TO STAY WITH ME.
OK, GREAT. WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.
 NO!
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, T-BONE.
WE WANT TO STAY HERE WITH YOU.
RIGHT, CLEO?
RIGHT. WE WANT TO. REALLY.
 AND WE CAN ALL WATCH THE FIREWORKS TOGETHER,
RIGHT HERE AT YOUR HOUSE.
[EXPLOSIONS]
 THIS IS PERFECT, CLIFFORD.
IT SURE IS. PERFECT.
T-BONE THINKS IT'S PERFECT, TOO.
HUH?
TODAY, WE'RE PAINTING PICTURES.
PAINTING'S A GREAT WAY TO SHOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT SOMETHING.
I THINK ORANGE IS THE HAPPIEST COLOR.
WHAT COLORS MAKE YOU HAPPY?
IF I WANTED TO PAINT A HAPPY DAY,
I'D USE A LOT OF ORANGE.
I want that one.
ARTHUR: Some dd wish
he'd go south for the winter and stay there.
Imagine what it's like being her pet.
( chirping )
( barks )
Still, you sd stay warm.
( meek chirp )
D.W.: Dad! Dad!
Why won't Spanky wakup?
He has to drink his tea.
Oh.
Will he ever wake up, dad?
But we could give him a nice funeral.
Thanks.
KATE: There.
My Bionic Bunny coloring book
I was pretending to be angry because Buster was there.
I guess what I'm trying to say is
I'm going to miss you, Spanky.
What the...?
You were the sweetest, prettiest...
Come on, I have an idea.
How about this one, D.W.?
Parrot ( squawking ): Spanky, Spanky.
It eats bird eggs whole.
Not even the parrot
you Toady wart-face!
Hey!
Spanky's can, not toad's!
( toad slurping )
Thanks for sharing your pretty beach glass.
( children screaming )
( gasps )
( crying )
( shrieks )
Wow, how do you get him
to stay on your shoulder?
Any more questions?
a bite of his avocado sandwich.
He's a "vegetable-tarian."
It wasn't that interesting.
like pen caps or candy wrappers.
you pull off the sticky parts of bandages.
Hmph!
Dad, if I pick up my socks and eat all my salad
No, honey... but you know what?
And whenever you miss him, you can remember
one of those times.
Let's see... I'll remember
the time I found that tiny top hat that fit you just right.
Spanky, it's you!
That's it!
but trespassing on Spanky's property-- that's bad!
( alarm clock ringing )
Huh?
( growling )
Now I've got you.
but I'll be ready in the morning.
( yawns )
Big trouble.
Hmm...
Oh, I know.
Hai-yaa!
I hope I didn't hurt him.
Hey, watch it!
and he's all warty.
He followed me around yesterday
Oh, no!
You're washing my clothes?
Sorry, Toady!
First Spanky, and now you-- I'm a pet killer!
should be thrown in jail.
Don't cry, D.W.
( Dad humming )
Huh?
Hey!
You're going to kill my pet!
Toady! You're safe.
about caring for him.
( swallows )
Well, maybe you don't sing
KIDS: And now...
GIRL: "Dear D.W...."
"My pet frisky died about a year ago."
"To keep bad things outd
I think of good things me and her used to do."
"I'm glad you like Toady-- I know he likes you."
"Try to remember Spanky."
Sincerely, Indonika."
"Love, Condelro."
"Your friend, Chernida."
"Katilde Carneros."
like this red softball.
or that Bionic Bunny poster.
by Bionic Bunny himself, in person!
Gee, thanks, Bionic Bunny.
Or take this magnet.
Wrong-- this magnet is from the time
( roars like a lion )
( crowd on TV cheering )
a project with Buster.
We'll watch Bionic Bunny
then work on it.
Buster will be here.
He always makes it in time.
( grunting )
Must... stop... missile.
( theme music plays )
Buster missed the whole episode.
( tones beeping )
What? Buster missing?
But I just spoke with him.
Oh, is that all?
Don't scare me like that.
His new friend, Mike?
I missed y... I mean
you missed Bionic Bunny.
It was great!
I've ever seen
Everyone who knows him
( cool music plays )
Mike could help with our science project.
Okay, bring him over to my house
after school.
So if the magnetic field goes out sideways
Where are Buster and Mike?
"I will not go over to Arthur's house."
I will never visit Arthur again.
FRANCINE: Arthur?
Arthur!
He's never around anymore.
but he never showed up.
I asked why he didn't show.
He said he was with his friend, Mike.
MUFFY: That's nothing!
What a drip!
So what?
Whatever.
I don't know.
That's pretty harsh.
To teach him
how it feels to be ignored, let's try it.
BUSTER: Hey, guys!
Mike and I bowled last night
and I just had a burger and shake.
so it hits more pins.
Of course, you have to be pretty strong, like Mike
Tonight we're going
to this science- fiction movie
Where people get eaten!
We have to give a progress report
on that science project today, huh?
We'll have the best project in class!
As you can see
( cheering )
a more powerful magnet...?
( grunts )
What should our project be?
Who hasn't?!
I've been working
You have?
I...
with you anymore.
I'll finish the project myself.
RATBURN: Good morning, everyone.
I'll be asking you to describe your project
and what you've done.
( class chuckles quietly )
after class.
I'm throwing out everything that belongs to Buster
or reminds me of Buster.
when he got a new one
or the C.D.'s you borrowed?
Okay, you can do it.
BUSTER: Hey, Arthur!
Okay.
Oh... hey, let me give you
I haven't seen you much
since I've met Mike
but you're still my best buddy.
I think we should maybe hang out
together, the three of us.
ARTHUR: So then whatever metal
I'll work really hard.
4:30!
( theme music playing on TV )
Just someone who's trying to do
the right thing in a mixed-up world.
( theme music plays )
Will you help me
Mike's coming over soon.
we can take it in his car.
But now you expect me
to believe he has a car?
I want you to meet
Arthur, meet my big brother.
Hello, Arthur.
My mom signed me up.
Hi, everyone, it's me, Buster.
I love making music with my friends in Elwood City.
one of the greatest bandsling with my dadaround.s Viajeros,
But they aren't the only people playing music on my travels.
Listen to this.
I'm filming some great music with my camera,

ARE YOU SURE, CLEO?
HAVE I EVER STEERED T-BONE WRONG?
YES.
THEN FOLLOW ME.
OK, T-BONE.
LET'S SEE HOW STRONG YOU ARE.
GO AHEAD AND MOVE THIS ROCK.
RIGHT.
[GRUNTING]
COME ON, MOVE!
HEY, IT'S MOVING.
DID YOU SEE THAT?
IT MOVED.
WOW, THAT WAS GREAT.
GOOD JOB, T.
I FEEL TOUGHER ALREADY, CLEO.
STEP ASIDE, BIG GUY.
I NEED TO GET SOME WATER.
YES, SIR.
WHOA!
STEP ASIDE, FROG.
[RIBBIT]
OK, THEN.
IF YOU WON'T MOVE, I'LL HAVE TO MOVE YOU.
[GRUNTING]

WHOA!
OH, OH, OOF!
[GASPS]
T-BONE, ARE YOU OK?
I MIGHT AS WELL JUST GIVE UP.
I'M NEVER GONNA BE A TOUGH DOG.
OK, UH, FORGET ABOUT BEING STRONG.
LET'S JUST WORK ON YOUR TOUGH-GUY FACE.
O-OK.
THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT PART
OF BEING TOUGH, ANYWAY.
OK, THEN.
LET'S DO IT!
HOW'S THIS, CLEO?
THAT'S A REALLY TOUGH...
TOUGH-GUY FACE.
ISN'T IT, CLIFFORD?
OH, YEAH. TOUGH.
OK, T.
IT'S TIME TO TEST IT.
THERE'S A CRAB AROUND HERE WHO'S
THE CRABBIEST CRAB OF ALL CRABS.
IF YOU CAN SCARE HIM, YOU CAN SCARE ANYONE.
 BRING HIM ON, CLEO.
I'M READY.
[GASPS]
AHA!
THERE YOU ARE!
[GROWLING]
HEY.
HEY, I DID IT! HE'S SCARED OF ME!
I'M TOUGH!
UH, THAT'S NOT THE CRAB
CLEO WAS TALKING ABOUT, T-BONE.
 THAT'S THE CRAB.
OH.
[GULPS]
OK, HERE I GO.
[GROWLS]
[BARKING]
WHOA!
AAH!
YEOW!
[HOWLING]
OK...
SO MAYBE THIS TIME
I REALLY DID STEER HIM WRONG.
THANKS FOR TRYING, GUYS.
I GUESS I WAS JUST NEVER MEANT TO BE A TOUGH DOG.
T-BONE, YOU'RE A REALLY NICE DOG.
AND EVERYONE LOVES YOU THAT WAY.
ESPECIALLY SHERIFF LEWIS.
YEAH...
WELL, I'LL SEE YOU GUYS TOMORROW, OK?
OK, T. SEE YOU TOMORROW.
BYE-BYE, T-BONE.
[SIGHS] TIME TO GO HOME.
HEY...WHO'S THAT?
I'LL GET SOME ICED TEA, MARTHA.
OH, THAT SOUNDS GOOD.
WOW! I'VE NEVER SEEN HER BEFORE.
AND SHE'S NEVER SEEN ME.
SHE DOESN'T KNOW I'M A NICE DOG.
NOW'S MY CHANCE TO SHOW THE SHERIFF
HOW TOUGH I CAN BE.
WELL, HELLO THERE, LITTLE DOGGIE.
[GROWLING]
[BARKING]
OH, MY GOODNESS!
SHERIFF, THERE'S A MEAN DOG OUT HERE.
HELP!
MEAN? I DON'T WANT HER TO THINK I'M MEAN.
JUST TOUGH.
T-BONE?
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?
[WHINES]
 THIS IS MY DOG T-BONE.
HE'S REALLY A VERY NICE DOG.
I DON'T KNOW WHY
HE WAS BARKING LIKE THAT.
HE SEEMS LIKE A NICE DOG NOW.
[PANTING]
[LAUGHS] HE'S REAL CUTE, TOO.
EVERYONE LOVES MY T-BONE.
AND I LOVE MY NICE, SWEET LITTLE BOY
MORE THAN ANY OTHER DOG IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD.
HE LOVES ME JUST THE WAY I AM!
THERE ARE LOTS OF JOBS THAT USE ONE OR MORE OF THE SENSES.
AN ARTIST SAW A CAT,
THEN USED HER SENSE OF TOUCH TO MAKE THIS OUT OF CLAY.
YOU CAN ALMOST HEAR IT PURR.
[PURRING]
A MUSICIAN HAS TO BE ABLE TO HEAR TO PLAY MUSIC,
AND A CHEF MUST BE ABLE TO SMELL...
THE FOOD HE'S COOKING,
THEN WE CAN TASTE...
WHAT HE COOKS.
NOW IT'S TIME FOR MORE "CLIFFORD."
Emily: CLIFFORD!
CLIFFORD! [BARKS]
GET THE STICK!
GO GET IT!
[BARKS]
GOOD JOB. NOW BRING IT BACK.
[BARKS]
[GASPS]
[BARKS]
[LAUGHS]
IT'S NOT EXACTLY THE STICK I THREW, CLIFFORD.
[WHINES]
BUT I LIKE IT EVEN BETTER. HA HA.
Charley: EMILY!
LOOK WHAT MY DAD GAVE ME.
ISN'T IT COOL?
WHAT IS IT, CHARLEY?
IT'S A REAL TELESCOPE.
GO ON, TRY IT.
YOU CAN'T SEE MUCH THROUGH IT YET,
BUT WHEN IT GETS DARK,
YOU CAN SEE STARS AND PLANETS--
MAYBE EVEN A SPACESHIP.
SPACESHIP?
[GASPS]
OH, HI, JETTA.
LOOK AT MY NEW TELESCOPE.
ISN'T IT GREAT?
WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT A TOY TELESCOPE?
Charley: IT'S NOT A TOY, JETTA.
IT'S POWERFUL ENOUGH TO SEE SATURN'S RINGS,
OR GIANT JUPITER...
EVEN THE BIG RED PLANET MARS.
Jetta: I SEE IT!
I SEE THE BIG RED PLANET.
I THINK YOU'RE SEEING A BIG RED DOG, JETTA.
[GASPS]
[BARKS]
I KNEW THAT.
I WAS JUST... JOKING.
IT REALLY IS MUCH BETTER TO LOOK THOUGH IT AT NIGHT.
HEY. I HAVE AN IDEA.
LET'S HAVE A "LOOK AT THE STARS" PARTY.
COOL!
A PARTY?
YEAH. WE CAN PLAY GAMES AND HAVE CAKE
AND TAKE TURNS LOOKING THROUGH YOUR TELESCOPE.
GREAT IDEA, EMILY.
[BARKING]
[LAUGHING]
OH, CLIFFORD.
I'LL GO ASK MY PARENTS NOW!
COME ON, CLIFFORD. LET'S HURRY!
[BARKS]
 CLIFFORD!
THIS IS GONNA BE GREAT.
YEAH, BUT IF I HAD A REAL TELESCOPE LIKE THIS,
I'D NEVER BRING IT TO A PARTY.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WELL, IT'S ONE THING BRINGING A TOY TO A PARTY,
BUSOMETHING COULD HAPPEN TO A REAL TELESCOPE.
OH.
SOMEONE COULD DROP IT
AND SAND WOULD GET ALL INSIDE IT
AND THAT WOULD ABSOLUTELY RUIN IT.
AND SAND WOULD GET ALL INSIDE IYOU'RE RIGHT.
MAYBE I'LL JUST LEAVE IT AT HOME.
[GASPS] YOU CAN'T DO THAT NOW.
I CAN'T?
WELL, OF COURSE NOT.
EMILY ELIZABETH WOULD BE REALLY MAD AT YOU.
I DON'T THINK SHE WOULD.
PLEASE. I MEAN, THE WHOLE PARTY IS ABOUT YOUR TELESCOPE.
YOU CAN'T SHOW UP WITHOUT IT.
IF IT WERE ME,
I JUST WOULDN'T COME TO THE PARTY AT L.
WELL, I'LL SEE YOU AND YOUR TELESCOPE AT THE PARTY.
BYE.
YEAH. SEE YOU AT THE PARTY.
Emily: THANKS FOR HELPING WITH THE PARTY, MOM.
I LOVE OUR DECORATIONS.
MMM-HMM.
I THINK OUR SOLAR SYSTEM MOBILE LOOKS ESPECIALLY GOOD.
IT SURE DOES.
SOMEDAY, YOU KIDS MAY ACTUALLY BE TRAVELLING TO THESE PLANETS.
[BARKING]
Mom: COME ON, BIG GUY.
LET'S GO FIND SOMEPLACE
TO HANG THIS BESIDES YOUR NOSE.
HI, MRS. HOWARD.
HELLO, CHARLEY.
HI, CHARLEY.
EMILY, I--
DON'T FORGET YOUR TELESCOPE TONIGHT.
THERE'S GONNA BE A BIG FULL MOON TO LOOK AT.
RIGHT. MY TELESCOPE.
WHERE IS IT?
UH, WELL, I LEFT IT AT HOME.
THE BEACH ISN'T A VERY GOOD PLACE FOR IT.
YOU KNOW, WITH ALL THE SAND.
I GUESS THAT'S TRUE.
IT REALLY IS.
 WE'LL ALL JUST HAVE TO BE EXA CAREFUL WITH IT TONIGHT.
YEAH, WE WILL.
[CHILDREN PLAYING]
[LAUGHING]
WOW, LOOK.
THIS IS GREAT.
WHAT A GAT IDEA FOR A PARTY.
AND THESE CARDBOARD TELESCOPES ARE ALMOST AS GOOD AS REAL ONES.
OOF! UNH!
WOW. THE STARS LOOK EVEN BETTER FROM DOWN HERE.
[LAUGHS] I LOVE WALKING ON THE MOON.
EVEN IF IT IS JUST PRETEND.
HURRY.
ISN'T THIS GREAT?
I'M NEXT.
GEE, I WONDER WHERE CHARLEY IS?
I MADE THESE ROCKETS OUT OF DOG FOOD AND POWDERED SUGAR PASTE.
EEW. WE'RE NOT GONNA EAT THEM, ARE WE?
NOPE. WE'RE GOING TO SEND THEM TO THE MOON!
[BARKS]
[LAUGHING]
LET ME TRY.
HUH. UNH!
OH, I LOVE SPACE ROCKETS.
SO DOES CLIFFORD.
[KIDS LAUGHING]
WHO WANTS OUTER SPACE CAKE?
[ALL BEGGING]
WHERE COULD CHARLEY BE?
WELL, HE'S PROBABLY NOT COMING, EMILY ELIZABETH.
WHY NOT?
WELL, HIS TELESCOPE IS NOT A TOY, YOU KNOW.
IT'S REAL.
I WOULDN'T WANT EVERYONE PLAYING
WITH MY REAL TELESCOPE, WOULD YOU?
HE COULD JUST LEAVE THE TELESCOPE AT HOME.
CHARLEY KNOWS THAT.
NO, HE COULDN'T.
YOU'D BE ALL MAD AT HIM FOR RUINING YOUR PARTY.
WHAT?
WELL...
I MEAN, THE WHOLE PARTY IS ABOUT HIS TELESCOPE,
ISN'T IT?
IS THAT WHAT YOU TOLD CHARLEY?
WELL...
NOT EXACTLY.
JETTA. HE DOESN'T HAVE TO BRING HIS TELESCOPE
IF HE DOESN'T WANT TO.
CHARLEY'S NOT BRINGING HIS TELESCOPE TONIGHT?
OH, I REALLY WANTED TO USE IT.
SEE? I KNEW EVERYONE WOULD BE MAD AT HIM IF HE DIDN'T BRING IT.
WE'RE NOT MAD AT HIM, JETTA.
WE JUST WISH HE WOULD BRING IT.
YEAH. WE'D RATHER HAVE CHARLEY HERE
WITHOUT HIS TELESCOPE
THAN NOT HAVE CHARLEY HERE AT ALL.
THAT'S WHAT I THINK, TOO, JETTA.
OK, OK.
SO LET'S GO GET HIM AND BRING HIM TO THE PARTY.
YES, LET'S.
YEAH. LET'S GO GET HIM.
HEY, I HAVE AN IDEA.
WHY DON'T WE PICK HIM UP IN A SPACESHIP INSTEAD?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
HUH?
BIG, RED SPACESHIP! HA HA.
[BARKS]
[SIGHS]
LOOKING THROUGH A TELESCOPE ALONE ISN'T MUCH FUN.
